1885, as we'll as in 1884, testifes that, "for the same reason that the assessment was reduced in 1884 to S4,000 per mile, it was reduced in 1885 to $4 900 per mile; and that it was by reason of the agreement, which the Supervisors had entered into with plaintiff in 1884. Thus the Board of Supervisors, in 1885, adopted and ratified the contract which the Board of Supervisors had made and entered into with plaintiff in 1884, that plaintiff should not be required to pay taxes at higher rate in Apache county, an assessed valuation of $4,000 per mile. Here was good faith; and, perhaps, owing to the fact that this action of the county authorities was superinduced and instigated by the plaintiff, it ought to have exhibited an equally commendable spirit of bona tides. That the plaintiff ac- ceded to this compromise-contract, the following letters written by plaintiffs solicitor, we think, abun- dantly show:
 "H. c. Mutt, President; c. S.. Tuckerman, Treasurer; F. w.. Smith, General Superintendent W. c, Hazeldine, Solicitor.
 Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, Western Division, Albu- querque, N. M., June 16, 1885.
 C.. L. Gutterson, Esq, St. Johns, Arizona: Dear Sir have just re- ceived notice from Assessor, Ser afin Apodaca, that he has assessed our Company in Apache county in the sum of $1, ,151 ,0SS.50. Will you kindly advise me as to the inten- ton, of yourself and the Board of Supervisors, in this respect? You will remember that I agreed to pay you upon an assessment on the road of $4,000 per mile; if, how ever, the county authorities pro- pose to increase this amount, 1 have, of course, to fight the entire tax. Please advise me by return mail exactly how matters stand and whether it will he necessary to put in protest, bill, etc. l have labored earnestly to bring about and maintain amiable relations be- lations between our Company and the county authorities, and have, as you are we'll aware, contributed many thousand dollars to your county and territorial treasuries, and am still disposed to do what is fair and right. But $4,000 being the maximum amount, l was, or am, authorized to settle for, if the assessment should exceed that by one dollar, I should have to con test the taxes to the best of my abil- ity and, should the case go against us, carry it to the Supreme Court of the United States. As between our selves, you might as we'll under stand that 1 am not doing any tall talking, or saying what 1 do for the purpose of compromise; for our Board of Directors have absolutely | and un9ualifedly determined not to pay one cent more than the amount agreed upon, preferring rather to contest the whole tax, should it cost over two or three times as much, as the actual amount of taxation; and I believe were they notified that such an assess ment as the above had been made, they would order me not to make any compromise or settlement whatever. So you will readily see that this is final and conclusive and I await your answer before any report to Boston.
 Yours truly,

 Solicitor.

 all parties, and would undoubtedly lead to long and expensive litiga- tion and as 1 desire to avoid this. 1 believe it would be greatly to the advantage of all parties, and more especially to Apache county, to ad- just this matter amicably, I shall withhold my report as to this as- sessment for a few days, in order to give you a chance to determine what you propose doing; but can't delay the report longer than July 1st, at which date the same must be presented to our President at Coston, for which city I start in a few days. But if you will write me your determination, addressed here, MT. Snyder, chief clerk of the de- partment-whom you know-will telegraph me the substance of your letter In all friendliness and fair ness, knowing the situation as well as I do. I earnestly recommend settlement, as it is absolutely the ultimatum of our people,
 Very truly yours
 VIM. c. HAzELDINE,
 Solicitor.
 Several facts are plainly infera- ble from these letters, including the second letter to Tuning, that the solicitor had authority to make the compromise-contract, by which plaintiffwas to pay, taxes in Apache county at an assessed valuation of $4,000 per mile; that at that time, plaintiff made no concealment of it's agreement, through its solicitor, 10 pay taxes in said county at an assessed valuation of $4,000 per mile, and earnestly recommended settlement on that basis, as "the ultimatum of our (his) people," that until the decisions were made exempting the Northern Pacific railroad from taxation, (the refer- ence in the solicitors letter must have been to the Montana deeisiQnl in the Garland caseIar1d perhaps to- the decision in Idaho); plaintiff was wiling and even anxious to pay at the rate of the $4,000 per mile agreement; and that the solicitor, in the plaintiffs behalf, was solici- tous that the Board of Supervisors in 1885, should ratify and adopt the compromise-contract, which he, as such solicitor, had made with the Board of Supervisors in 1884. Now, the evidence shows that, Tn accordance with the solicitors earn est recommendation-and doubt less, too, from a sense of rectitude -the plaintiffs taxes for 1885 were reduced by said Board to the basis of the $4,000 per mile valuation the amount which the solicitor says he agreed to pay, and which he says his Board of Eirectors agreed to pay. What excuse does plaintiff offer why it has not complied with the contract of compromise? It does not complain that the county authorities have acted in bad faith with it. It does not set up that it was required to pay tax in Apache county, for the year 1885, in excess of the $4,00O per mile valuation. Nor does 1t claim that circum- stances, over which 1t had no con- trol, prevented it from complying herewith. It has not been injured by said contract; on the contrary, its taxes, thereby, were reduced more than one-half; so that a cor benefit would have ac- crued to plaintiff, thereby enabling it to escape from the payment of many thousands of dollars just tax ation. There is no excuse offered

and if the principle involved is to be
recognized in national legislation abso-
lutely no limit could ever be placed
upon the prodigality of Congress.
That the farmers in some portions of
Texas are in need of assistance is not
questioned, but the national govern
ment is not the place to go for it.
When farmers who are suffering
from the effects of drought can secure
help from Congress by application,
then anybody who has been unfortu-
nate in business and is in distress may
do the same. Great fires. foods, tor
nadoes, boiler explosions, reaper acci-
dents. coasting casualties, shipwrecks
and everything under the sun calcu-
lated to arouse the sympathy of the
public will be ample excuses for legis-
lation in the interest of the victims.
The Washington Government is not a
vast charitable institution and was
intended as such. The Congressman
who are ever ready to vote away mon
ey on applications of this character
are stupldly ignorant of the fundamen-
tai laws of their country or they are
wilfully and outrageously unmindful
of them. The veto may serve to bring
members to a clearer understanding
of their duty. Chicago Herald.

old fellow from Philadelphia made his
acquaintance at the spring side, and
was pleased with him, Now this rich
old man nted an honest man to send
to Europe on an important business
mission. He thought this youny law
yer would fill the bill but proceeded
to test him first After gaining his
confidence he told him of plan he
had for making money by short but
verp dishonest method. The young
man listened attentively aud then
firmly declined to be a party to any
such arrangements. In vain the old
man pleaded that scores of mtn oc-
cupying high positions to-day had
made their start in precisely such a
way. The young man was firm as
rock. The result was that the Philad-
elphian, being convinced of the young
mans integrity; engaged his services,

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:

Your papers and
circulars containing so. much valuable
information to me, was received in due
time. Many thanks.
The cheering news that comes 10 me
from Kansas and especially from Bar.
ton county fills me with joy. I bless
the day I cast my lot in that good
county, on that rich soil and among
such good and enterprising people.
But may l be pardOned rather thSn
blamed for presulning TO venture a
word of advice to people overfowing
with enterprise in that noble county?
This great mania for railroads and
TO have as many or more than other
counties, might be carried too far, and
cause the people to burden themselves
too heavily with debt. All can not be
accomplished at once, in one year or
in one generation. Railroads, towns
and county must all build up together.
their interest must be mutual.
Those who have to bear the burden
Of taxation ought to be very careful
and draw the brakes before they bur.

The call for a meeting of the citi-
zens of Great Bend to devise plans to
better advertise your town and coun-
ty, and advance the interest of both is
a move in the right direction. That
call and that long list Of names fos
such laudable purpose is o good ad-
vertlsement within itself. as j, shows
to people far away the spirit and
enterprise Of western people.
Times are very dull ir West Vir-
ginia, money very scarce and proper
ty decreased almost one half in value.
Many would sell out and go west il
they could dispose of their property
at anything like a fair price.
The most plentiful thing We car
boast Of is rain and mud. We have
shat in the greatest abundance.
With my kindest regards to my
many pleasant acquaintances in Greaf

Truly Yours.

Mort. Wells has now bloomed out
as an inventor, and gives promise of
causing scientific resolution. After
spending many sleepless nights in ex-
perimenting, he has hit upon a plan
by which electricity can be carried
along in buggy, and applied to run
away or resactory horses. A small dy.
nano is concealed under the buggy
seat, and operated by the wheels as
they revolve, thus generating enough
electricity at nominal expense to
make any horse wish that it had
never been born. A lever is attached
to the side of the buggy convenient
to the hand, and if the horse tries 70
be funny, or do the runaway act. all
the driver has to do is to jerk the le-
yer, and the horse will be the sickest
looking object Oh twenty miles of
road, with enough cold, raw electric
ity sailing through its carcass t. light

animal has been thoroughly paralyz-
ed, the driver will yeverse the lever,
and he will find that he is navigating
the most subdued animal in America.

It is the bad boy who is popular at

a great mistake to paint George
Washington so perfect. He would
have been idolized if there was only
more authentic gossip about him.
But he is such stern representative OF
duty and virtue that the average per-

than to stone He was born good,
grew up good, lived good and died
good. There is no place in his career
punctuated with laughter. And hence
